Important Safeguards

These safety instructions are to ensure the long life of the unit and to prevent fire and shock. Please read them

carefully and heed all warnings.

Installation

• For best results, use the unit in a darkened room.

• Place the unit on a flat, level surface in a dry area away from dust and moisture.

• Do not place the unit in direct sunlight, near heaters or heat radiating appliances.

• Exposure to direct sunlight, smoke or steam can harm internal components.

• Handle the unit carefully. Dropping or jarring can damage internal components.

• Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.

Power Supply

• The unit is designed to operate on a power supply of 100 - 240 V 50/60 Hz AC. Ensure that your power supply

fits these requirements before attempting to use the unit.

• Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bending. A damaged cord can cause electric shock or

fire.

• Disconnect the power cable (main’s lead) from the power outlet after using the unit.

Before disconnecting the power cable, make sure that the STANDBY indicator lights in amber (not blinking or

in green).

Cleaning

• Disconnect the power cable (main’s lead) from the unit.

• Clean the cabinet of the unit periodically with a damp cloth. If heavily soiled, use a mild detergent. Never use

strong detergents or solvents such as alcohol or thinner.

• Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, and be careful not to scratch or mar the lens.

• Clean the ventilation slots and speaker grills on the unit periodically using a vacuum cleaner. If accumulated

dust blocks the ventilation slots, the unit will overheat, which may cause the unit to malfunction.

Use a soft brush attachment when using the vacuum cleaner. Do not use a hard attachment, such as a crevice

tool, to prevent the damage to the unit.

Lamp Replacement

• Be sure to replace the lamp when the Status indicator comes on. If you continue to use the lamp after 2000

hours of usage, the lamp will turn off.

Fire and Shock Precautions

• Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the buildup of heat inside

the unit. Allow at least 10 cm (3 inches) of space between the unit and walls.

• Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into the unit. Do not attempt to retrieve

any objects that fell into the unit. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into the unit. If

something should fall into the unit, immediately disconnect the power cable from the unit and have the object

removed by a qualified PLUS service person.

• Do not place any liquids on top of the unit.

CAUTION – HOT!

The area around the exhaust vents is hot during and immediately after image projection.

To avoid burns, keep your hands away from this area.

Wait until the exhaust vents area cools off before touching it.

Do not look into the lens while the unit is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.

Major Features

䡵 High brightness, lightweight projector with wireless/wired network presentation and

PC-less presentation functions

The efficiency of the use of light is improved thanks to the combination of the DLP™ system and a unique optical design. The

three primary colors necessary for expressing colors (red, green and blue) are produced with a single DMD (an ultra-high

precision digital device), thereby achieving high brightness, compact size and light weight. In addition, wireless LAN technol-

ogy is used to enable wireless presentations without connecting the projector to a computer with an RGB cable. The image

viewer function can be used for presentations of PowerPoint files containing image files and animations that have been stored

on CF memory cards or in the USB memory.

(

*1. For details, refer to the “Image Viewer / Network” manual.

䡵 Lamp replaceable without removing projector from ceiling

The lamp can be replaced from the top of the projector without removing the projector when it is mounted on the ceiling. This

eliminates the need to take the projector down to replace the lamp, then to remount the projector and make the projection

position adjustments, etc., as required with other projectors.

(

*2. For details, see “Replacing the Lamp Cartridge” on page E-61.

䡵 Sharp, clear picture

The DLP™ display system affords RGB color fidelity and inconspicuous gaps between the individual dots, thereby permitting

the display of small characters and diagrams with distinct clarity.

䡵 Advanced Color Wheel (ACW) allows for further enhancement of color reproduction

PLUS’s unique ACW preserves brightness, while allowing for superlatively enhanced color reproduction and astoundingly

clear picture quality attainable only with DLP™ technology.

䡵 High contrast ration of 2000:1

Use of a new generation of DMD devices has given birth to an amazing 2000:1 high contrast ratio.

By widening the difference of brightness between black and white, you can see a degree of sharpness that is greater than just

the brightness based on specifications.

䡵 Great moving image playback capabilities using the same principles as DLP Cinema™

technology

Plus DLP type projectors have the same makings as the DLP Cinema™ technology used in movie theaters. Because of their

extremely fast response, even images with much movement – sports, movies – play smoothly without blurring.

䡵 Security lock function

The lock can be set so that a password must be input when the projector is started up. Without the correct password, no

operations other than turning the power on and off can be performed. This function effectively protects the projector from

unauthorized use.

䡵 Powerful functions for presentations

A wide variety of easy-to-set functions have been built into the projector, from a digital keystone correction function (used

when making settings) that corrects picture distortion, to an auto adjustment function that automatically identifies the PC

signal.

There is also a built-in “Presentation Timer” function for further presentation convenience.

䡵 Beautiful reproduction of high-quality images from DVD

Faithful reproduction of color tones gives rise to the display of natural images. High-quality images such as those from DVD

and digital high-definition television broadcasts bring out the display capabilities that are an essential strength of the DLP™

display system projector.

䡵 Enable RGB output in addition to digital/analog RGB input...

by using a DVI cable to connect the projector with a personal computer equipped with a DVI connector. This will allow fully

digital pictures to be enjoyed.

Also, by using the RGB output connector, the same image can be sent to the monitor of a personal computer.

䡵 Econo-mode switch function for the lamp output

Using the lamp Econo-mode will extend the life of the lamp and lower the power consumption.

By switching the lamp mode to suit your operating environment, you will save on lamp cost as well as contribute to energy

conservation and ecology.

Placement Guide

• Use this information as a guide to find out about the screen size when the projector is placed at a certain location, or

to find out the approximate size of a screen that will be required.

• The projection distance over which focussing is adjustable is 1.20 m (3.9 feet) to 13.81 m (45.31 feet). The projector

should be placed within this range.

• When suspending the projector from the ceiling, change the projection method. See “Vertical Flip / Horizontal Flip” on

E-50.

* There is a tolerance of ±5% due to design values.

* This table uses the lens apex and lens center as references and requires that the projector be in a horizontal condition

(with front and rear adjusters fully withdrawn).

Connecting Personal Computers and Video Equipment

Connecting this unit with a personal computer permits presentation data to be projected as a large screen display at

conferences, lectures, and on other occasions. Furthermore, connecting this unit to a DVD player or other video equip-

ment source in combination with an audio/video amplifier and speaker system will allow you to enjoy convincing home

theater.

Connections with Personal Computer

Please check the following before making connections with the personal computer.

• A suitable resolution for the U7-132/U7-132h/U7-137 is 1024 ⳯ 768 dots (XGA) and the maximum displayable resolution is

1280 ⳯ 1024 dots (S-XGA).

Make changes to a displayable resolution at the personal computer side. Please check with “Table of Supported Frequency” on

Page E-65.

• The setting method for the personal computer will differ depending on the specific model. Please read the personal computer

instruction manual or the on-line help information, or contact the manufacturer of your personal computer.

• Projection might not be possible when connection is with a personal computer that is equipped with a DVI-I connector such as

some PowerBook G4 computers and others when the signal is converted to analog RGB (which uses a mini D-sub 15-pin

connector) and connection is made with the pertinent equipment. In circumstances such as this, please purchase separately

a DVI-D cable and use the unit through the DVI connection.

Note that connections via DVI will enable the projection of a high quality image compared to connections using analog RGB.

To Output the External Output Signal of a Notebook Computer

When projection will be with a notebook computer connected, knowledge will be required for the cable connection and notebook

computer startup procedure as well as the operation that follows notebook startup. Please consult the instruction manual of your

notebook computer or the on-line help while performing the following procedure.

Check whether a signal is being sent from the notebook computer to the projector.

An indication appearing on the liquid crystal display of the notebook computer does not necessarily mean that an external

output signal is being output.

Should a sign not be output from the notebook computer, please try the operation described below.

For an IBM PC/AT, DOS/V computer, press the [Fn] key plus any one of the [F1] to [F10] keys. (See the table below.)

Note

When the liquid crystal display of the notebook computer and the projector are displayed at the same time, the projected image might not be

correct even though the liquid crystal display shows a correct indication. Should this occur, stop the simultaneous display of the notebook

computer and try the mode with external output only. (Try an operation such as that described in aforementioned Step 2 and try closing the

liquid crystal panel which might result in external output only.)
